Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

With a compelling mixture of humor and insight, Moody offers his reflection on religion and American life. Standing at the intersection of the public and the private, and speaking with authentic faith unfettered by fear, Moody offers words of clarity and compassion about some of the more troublesome issues of our time. Many readers will find this collection of newspaper columns most refreshing. "This book of short essays transports the reader into the realm of life's rhythms and every day surprises, writes Bob Mong, president and publisher of the Dallas Morning News in the preface. Moody's stories are not soggy and sentimental. There is fire and pathos intermingling naturally, with passages of love, forgiveness, and tenderness. Moving easily from the personal to the public, Moody offers a word that needs to be heard--"at times powerful and prophetic--"but also pastoral, often poignant, and always with a view toward the common good. Moody speaks to a broad range of topics--"books, family, church, friends culture--"with titles like "Did Jesus Know about Jabez?," "One Hell of a Prayer," "Survival, Guide for Orthodox Churches," "I'm in the Jailhouse Now," "Autism and Easter," and "Howard Finster--"Man of Visions." Moody describes candidly the joys and sorrows that have come his way and how the simple gifts of faith hope, and love have served as sources of both endurance and delight. Do not be surprised if these stories do not warm your soul even as they inform the mind.

Living with Hope

Navigating political divisions, global pandemics, and personal problems

By: Dwight A. Moody PhD

Dr. Moody offers a compelling (and sometimes humorous) call to live a joyful, hopeful life as a Christian and as a Citizen, even when dealing with myriad personal problems, discouraging political division, and global challenges such as recession, pandemic, or even war. Basing his encouragement out of a fresh reading of Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians, this experienced pastor, parent, and scholar invites you to draw inspiration from this ancient letter for our living in the modern, often chaotic and confusing world. These short essays on Christian living will bless you and make you a stronger, wiser person.

Techniques of the Selling Writer

By: Dwight V. Swain

Techniques of the Selling Writer provides solid instruction for people who want to write and sell fiction, not just to talk and study about it. It gives the background, insights, and specific procedures needed by all beginning writers. Here one can learn how to group words into copy that moves, movement into scenes, and scenes into stories; how to develop characters, how to revise and polish, and finally, how to sell the product. No one can teach talent, but the practical skills of the professional writer's craft can certainly be taught. The correct and imaginative use of these kills can shorten any beginner's apprenticeship by years. This is the book for writers who want to turn rejection slips into cashable checks.

It's about Time

A Memoir of Ministry at Georgetown College

By: Dwight A. Moody

A college campus is a place like no other: students and faculty, academics and athletics, success and failure, learning and loving, happiness and heartache, promises and prayers, questions and answers. All this and more described here in the memoir of one person who as dean of the chapel lived through the highs and lows of college life for eleven years. Dwight A. Moody is an astute observer of life and a wonderful storyteller, as demonstrated in earlier books: Heaven for a Dime and On the Other Side of Oddville. You will enjoy his compelling mix of history, humor and the human experience with a focus on his role as professor, preacher and parent on the campus of Georgetown College in Kentucky. This collection of prayers, stories, sermons, and letters, together with his long and fascinating narrative, will take its place as an important addition to the history of Georgetown College.

Heaven for a Dime

Memoir of a Small Town Preacher

A fascinating account of six years in the life of a pastor and his family, Inside History offers an insider's glimpse into one of the most interesting churches in the south. Humor, tragedy, crime and conversion are just a few of the elements of this narrative that make it a compelling read. Written to provide primary source material for the cultural and religious history of the region, the book is also a frank description of how a minister and his family endured the public and private pressures of the ministerial calling. Effective as a preacher and controversial as a leader, Dr. Moody is also exceptionally skilled as a writer, as this book will demonstrate. You will laugh and cry as you read his narrative of six years in the ministry.

American Slavery as it was in 1839

By: Theodore Dwight Weld,C. Badgley

This book was created from the original title "American Slavery as it is in 1839-Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses" written by Theodore Weld. It was the book that inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe to pen her novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and along with that book, helped ignite the flames of the American Civil War. The first hand, eyewitness accounts in this book both shocked and infuriated many people in the northern free states who knew that slavery was bad...but had no idea just how bad it really was. The Abolitionist movement took off and began to grow with increased pressure being put on our government to end this abomination. The southern slave states bitterly opposed any new laws to remove this blight from our country and the end result was Civil War. This book is part of the Historical Collection of Badgley Publishing Company and has been transcribed from the original. The original contents have been edited and corrections have been made to original printing, spelling and grammatical errors when not in conflict with the author's intent to portray a particular event or interaction. Annotations have been made and additional content has been added by Badgley Publishing Company in order to clarify certain historical events or interactions and to enhance the author's content. Additional illustrations and photos have been added by Badgley Publishing Company. This book has been re-indexed. This work was created under the terms of a Creative Commons Public License 2.5.

American Slavery As It Was - The Background Of Twelve Years A Slave

By: Theodore Dwight Weld

With the recent success of the movie and book "Twelve Years A Slave" in mind, this title, as the name imports, gives a true picture of the state of slavery in the United States in the first half of the 19th century. It had an important bearing on the great controversy upon this subject at the time it was published. The evidence which it contains is minutely circumstantial. A considerable portion of the book consists of the narratives of persons who have resided at the south, and witnessed the treatment of the slaves on the plantation with which they were conversant. With very few exceptions the name of the witness is given, and in the cases in which circumstances make it unsafe that he should be known, his character for integrity is vouched for by some responsible person. In some instances also, but those very few, the witness relates what was told him by persons on whose veracity he could rely. But the great mass of the evidence is original and from known and named witnesses. Please be advised that this book contains very explicit and detailed narratives that tell of torture, pain and cruelty.

I have embodied in The Way to God and How to Find It a considerable part of several addresses which have been delivered in different cities, both of Great Britain and my own country.
